Ceacreed : Elasty HD Beta Update

February 3, 2010 in Apps by David John

Ceacreed have released an updated version of the Elasty HD easy to use video editing application for Mac. Elasty HD gives you access to features pretty common in image processing but far less usual when you process movies: rotate, flip and crop features. It’s a good starting point but Elasty HD also has more advanced features which would rejoice 7th art experts: image stabilization, smart special effects and retiming. Imagine all the things you could do!

I am a massive fan of using mind maps both in project planning and in educational management. The ability to visualise concepts and plan processes definitely results in a much high success rate and much less stressful journey.

The good news is Mindjet have just announced the availability of MindManager 8 for Mac. This latest generation of the product offers more functionality and better integration with native Mac applications to help increase personal productivity, better manage information and drive business results for Mac users.

Picking just 5 apps is tough! I could recommend probably 10 for the Mac and 10 for the iPhone! I have decided to put in the ones I use day in day out and would be lost without. I must apologise in advance for the extra geeky IT nerd ones.

Every so often an application comes along that completely changes the way I work, there has been Things for Mac, Tweetie and most recently 1Password. Today sees the release of Socialite a completely new way to work with social media.

When I boot my computer I have a number of applications that automatically load on login (Check out the tutorial on how to do this). There is my Twitter client, Google Newsreader, Flicker client and a browser to access sites such as Facebook.
